1. How important is the "organic" part of this to you? And |
|
how much do you hate going to the store? And don't you have to go to the store for other things anyways, so it isn't a special trip? I think it is too much for it, but I don't know what organic canned goods go for. Maybe for that it is a bargain.

2. Less than a buck a can, delivered? Sounds good to me. |

4. What size cans? What year are they from? Are they undamaged? |
|
Sounds like a good deal, as long as you like canned green beans...

But I don't have a problem getting to the grocery store. If you need groceries delivered, that's a different story.
Today I bought 4 18.5 oz cans of progresso italian wedding soup, normally $2.19 per can. My out of pocket cost was one dollar, but I made it back because I got a register coupon for a dollar off my next order. I can do that 24 more times if I get motivated, which will result in 100 cans of soup ($219 retail) that I can donate to a food pantry at no cost to me. I'm trying to psyche myself up for the follow through on that.

24 cans of generic supermarket tomatoes would run about $16 here. Muir Glen is a pretty good brand. You're probably paying about $5 for "organic" and delivery.

Muir Glenn kicks @$$ ! I hate to use any other brand of tomato product.
